Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking qualified firms to provide market‑feasibility analysis, economic‑impact modeling, parking studies, and incentive‑toolkit development to support its Downtown Master Plan. The work is organized into three phases: baseline data synthesis and strategic direction, detailed roadmap creation (including financial and implementation plans), and final adoption‑ready documents. The consultant will coordinate closely with parallel urban‑design and placemaking teams, integrate existing city data, and deliver a comprehensive set of deliverables that guide future development of two key downtown parcels.
• Conduct market feasibility and economic‑impact analyses for the Northern Riverfront District and the Chestnut Street site.
• Develop a parking inventory, utilization model, and future demand forecasts.
• Produce a fiscal‑incentive toolkit, cost‑estimating framework, ROI analysis, and an implementation roadmap aligned with City Council requirements.
• Coordinate with separate urban‑design and placemaking consultants to ensure integrated master‑plan outcomes.
• Deliver all final reports, data books, spreadsheets, and presentation decks within a 9‑12 month schedule after award.
